Unissued Luftwaffe M38 Single Decal Helmet — ET66, Immaculate WWII German Paratrooper Helmet

This Unissued Luftwaffe M38 single decal helmet (ET66) is an exceptional and rare example of the classic German Fallschirmjäger paratrooper helmet. Presented in immaculate unissued condition, it retains its original factory-applied paint, crisp Luftwaffe eagle decal and untouched liner and chinstrap, making it one of the finest specimens available to collectors today.

The M38 paratrooper helmet was developed exclusively for Germany’s elite Fallschirmjäger airborne units. Its distinctive shell profile, four vented liner bolts and specially padded liner offered improved protection during parachute operations. Produced by Eisenhüttenwerke Thale (ET), this size ET66 example showcases the superb quality associated with wartime German manufacture.

Never issued for combat use, this helmet survives in outstanding condition, showing virtually no wear and only the most minimal storage patina. Complete with its untouched fittings and factory decal, it represents a true investment-grade piece of Luftwaffe militaria.
